Distinction Journal

[Emull]

I usually don't follow my own thread, but this is an exception, so I can receive a notification whenever I receive feedback.
Please keep this in mind: If you misunderstand one of my distinctions,
then you can ask me in this feedback thread to elaborate in detail.
You can also reach out to me via Personal Messenger if you want to. This is also an option.
I usually compress the distinction sentence into precisely 10 words. Did you ever notice that?

Cheetah who can run fast is distinct from cheat activation.

Decompressed Distinction #1

Spoiler

Don't conflate 'cheetah' with 'cheater'.
The sound confusion is there because both words sound similar.
Cheetah who can run fast can be easily confused with cheater who can run fast, which would be a cheat activation.
In my opinion, this particular distinction ended up being a S-tier distinction, which is a good thing.
This is only a preview but in my book 'Distinction Journal' I'd make one entire page out of this somehow.
